Pretty basic, but easy. I grilled the kebabs on our Traeger. My young adult daughter felt the marinade was "too lemony" and she didn't like the yogurt flavor in the pesto sauce (which I doubled) and served with egg noodles. Next time I will serve the kebabs with rice and add some mushrooms and maybe some zucchini.

Read MoreThis review is for the veggie portion of the kabobs and the creamy pesto. We didn't use chicken as I had other meat to use up. The veggie kabobs were delicious enough! I prepped them an hour in advance so they could sit in the marinade and soften up a bit before skewering and grilling them. (I'm sure broiling them would be fine too, but oh, that charcoal fire taste!) The creamy pesto was wonderful. I only had artichoke pesto on hand, but the sauce was very good. It was a perfect complement to the grilled veggies. Next time I will try the chicken and a basil pesto, but definitely grilled. Easy to do, easy to vary, and totally tasty.

Read MoreSaw this recipe today and immediately ran out to get the ingredients. So easy, so simple and so tasty. Husband was impressed!
Read MoreDelicious grilled! We enjoyed the lemony zing of the marinade. We'll definitely make them again.
Read MoreNothing all that special. Sauce is good but that's all. If I make it again I won't bother with the added task of making the kebobs. Can just broil or grill without the trouble.
Read MoreServed with corn on the cob and crusty bread. Was great and easy. Cooked on the grill--took a bit longer than expected but was very good.
Read MoreI substituted 3 TB 0% plain greek yogurt for the 2 TB sour cream + 2 TB low fat plain yogurt & still enjoyed the pesto. I baked them in an oven but I imagine that they would work well on a grill. If possible, make your own pesto instead of a store-bought version. I would definitely make this again & the sauce could work well with other dishes.
Read MoreYUM! I used zucchini, onion, and cherry tomatoes (that's what I had on hand). SOOO good!
Read MoreThis was easy and delicious! A refreshing change from grilled chicken breast. I used yellow, orange and red peppers and mushrooms, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. We were going to grill them, but it started to rain so I ended up broiling them like it says to, and they were still fabulous!!
Read MoreThis was so delicious and so easy! I also added mushrooms because my boyfriend and I love them! So flavorful.
Read MoreLoved it! It was really easy to make and the flavors go so well together. I will be making this again!!
Read MoreWe left the breasts whole and cut the veggies in strips instead of chunks and grilled them like that (instead of making kebabs), but it turned out really well.
Read MoreThis was delicious. I changed up a few of the vegetables, but I followed everything else completely. It was simple and my family absolutely loved it. I served it with brown rice and fresh bread.
Read MoreMarvelous! I doubled the recipe. The only changes I made were that I used fresh garlic and green instead of yellow peppers. Next time, I won't double the sauce - it was nice, but we didn't need quite that much. Served with steamed fresh green beans, corn on the cob, and crusty bread. Everyone - even the kids - loved this one!!
Read MoreDelicious!!
Read MoreThis was easy to prepare and a very tasty weeknight meal. We used the bbq. Served with bbq eggplant slices, steamed green beans and garlic flatbread. The kids even liked it. I did add some extra veggies to the skewers and kept the onions separate as they needed more time to cook.
